Air source heat pumps in Bowlhead Green, done properly
In England, an air source heat pump on a house can often go in under permitted development rights. The conditions include an outdoor unit of no more than 1.5 m³ and compliance with MCS 020(a), and the unit cannot be used solely for cooling or sit within the curtilage of a listed building. We look at the planning position for your home during the survey. The work covers homes heated by oil, LPG or gas, radiator systems and air-to-water heat pumps, and common reasons people get in touch are no space for a hot water cylinder and checking eligibility for a heat pump grant.
In a place like Bowlhead Green, some homes are listed, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, so consent comes first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the job changes from property to property
Air-to-air heat pumps
Air-to-air heat pumps are now covered by permitted development rules in England, subject to conditions. A unit used solely for cooling isn’t covered and need a check with the council.
VAT on heat pumps
For air-to-air systems, HMRC’s view depends on the product and the situation, so we confirm the VAT on your quote.
Air source heat pumps in Bowlhead Green: the local picture
About 35% of homes in the Bowlhead Green area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 76% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes can lose heat faster, so a room-by-room heat loss calculation, and sometimes insulation or larger radiators, comes before sizing a heat pump. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have room for the outdoor unit and a cylinder.
Sizing comes from the heat each room loses on a cold day, not from the size of the old boiler. Period properties close to Church of St Michael and All Angels can suit a heat pump, though insulation and any heritage protection are checked first.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep radiators clear
- Diary the next service
- Look at insulation alongside the heat pump
We show you how to use the controls and explain how a heat pump works differently from a boiler. Heat pumps tend to work best running steadily rather than in short bursts, and we’ll explain the settings for your home.
Leave space around the outdoor unit. It needs good airflow to collect heat from outside, so keep it clear all year.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a few days on site, depending on the cylinder, the radiators and the pipework involved. If a lane or gateway near Bowlhead Green is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- First, a chat about the property and your goals for the heating.
- We survey for heat loss and look at radiators, cylinder space and outdoor unit options.
- We explain which type of heat pump suits the home and whether a grant could apply.
- We install the heat pump and connect it up.
- We commission it, complete the MCS certificate and show you how to use it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
Common questions in Bowlhead Green
Is the heat pump grant available in Bowlhead Green?
Yes, the scheme covers homes in England, including Bowlhead Green, if they qualify. Whether your home qualifies, and for how much, depends on the type of heat pump and the heating it replaces. The installer applies, and we’re MCS certified.
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump in Bowlhead Green?
It depends on the property. Central Bowlhead Green sits inside the Bowlhead Green Conservation Area. A heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets the conditions, including the MCS noise check, but not within the grounds of a listed building, and in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t face a road. Where necessary, we check with Waverley council, which is normally the planning authority for Bowlhead Green.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
What does an air-to-water heat pump cost?
For air-to-water, the price is £8,000–£16,000 (0% VAT on homes) before any grant. Eligible homes in England and Wales can get £7,500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme though not every home qualifies.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Fixed-price quotes for air source heat pumps in Bowlhead Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How many units are involved
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

- The rating plate or label on any existing unit

To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
